Hard to believe and other headlines
Believe it or not, later on this summer you can get tickets to a live taping (is that like jumbo shrimp or military intelligence??) of 23rd season episodes of the Jerry Springer Show. So that would make the episode that aired today claiming to be the 21st anniversary episode a rerun. Doesn't matter, an episode of Springer is always guaranteed to provide laughs, boxing ring bells sounding off when people fight and an audience of young people chanting "Jerry, Jerry, Jerry".
Chaminade Prep was locked down for awhile today because someone mistook a tripod for a rifle. They called LAPD who responded immediately.
Doctors at CA state psychiatric hospitals are saying that the shortage of psychiatrists is approaching a level that is seriously compromising patient care. At one state hospitals, the "shrinks" there are covering patient loads four times higher than the standard. Not a good time to have a breakdown.
Secret files kept by Catholic orders on priests who were accused of molesting children will be released to the public by September, according to attorneys. At a hearing on Tuesday, a L.A. Superior Court judge said the orders must release the files by then.
Liberty Reserve, a large digital currency company has been indicted for being involved in a $6 billion international money laundering scheme. Prosecutors claim that there were 55 million illegal transaction in the case and more than 1 million users involved worldwide.
Dr. Lewis Yocum has died of liver cancer at the age of 65. He'd been the team doctor for the Anaheim Angels for more than 30 years and was a renowned orthopedic surgeon who was an associate at the famed Kerlan-Jobe Clinic.
Stacey Keibler, currently best known as George Clooney's girlfriend was at the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco. The good news was she looked great in a red romper. The bad news is she was posing for photographers in it while it was partly unzipped.
Jimmy Buffett's song "Margaritaville" only hit #8 on the charts, but it has become one of the most profitable songs in history. Maybe that has something to do with the newest "Margaritaville" restaurant/casino/retail spot that just opened in Atlantic City. It is the company's 27th location, and they include two U.S. resorts, one in the Caribbean and four casinos. Not bad for 208 word, three chord song that couldn't crack the top 5.
What would you do if your child "borrowed" your credit card to go out for a night of drinking? When they were only 16? And when they ran up a bar tab of over $54,000? Well, in this case that occurred in Kyoto, Japan, a court has ruled that the father is only liable for 800,000 of the 5.5 million yen bill his son ran up at a "hostess" bar, drinking wine, whiskey and beer. No word on what dad did to the son.
Did you do a double-take while driving down the 405? No, you didn't see a JC Penney's ad with a likeness of Adolf Hitler on it. That was a teakettle that just looks a little like Hitler.
For Denise Garrido it was a dream come true. A fairy-tale happy ending. She was crowned Miss Universe-Canada. Then the following day, it was uncovered that she wasn't the actual winner; an error had been made in tabulating the scores. She was stripped of the crown and it was awarded to the "rightful" winner, Riza Santos. Ms Garrido has shown nothing but poise and grace in handling the situation.
Kenny Rackers is an Army veteran. He is also the first American to ever win the historic Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling contest. Good for him.
When your cat has been missing for more than ten years, you don't expect to get a call saying someone has found it. But that's just what happened recently to a California woman. Her cat Dallas had been gone for 13 years, but his microchip was still there and it led to cat and human being reunited.
Chief Keef is a 17 year old rapper who just got busted for the second time in one week. First came the pot bust in an Atlanta hotel and now he was stopped for allegedly going 110 mph in a 55 mph zone in Illinois. Worse yet, he had three passengers in the car and his permit only allows him to have one passenger in the car with him.
Eric Dickerson says that Keyshawn Johnson has it right, Justin Beiber is a speeding menace in the gated community where they all live.
